Metallica is doing the podcast thing.
The metal legends have announced an official weekly show called “The Metallica Report.”
The show will be hosted by Steffan Chirazi, the editor of Metallica’s online magazine, So What! and Renée Richardson, director of philanthropy for the band’s All Within My Hands charity foundation.
The band says, “With each episode, Steffan and Renée will keep you informed with the latest news from Metallica HQ and dispatches from the road as the M72 tour continues to make its way around the world. You’ll also enjoy exclusive, behind-the-scenes updates and interviews with the likes of the touring crew, poster and T-shirt artists, and fans through our mini-features. And we plan to make a few appearances ourselves!”
“In addition to the most inside and up-to-date news, ‘The Metallica Report’ will take requests: submit your inquiries, and Steffan and Renée will get to the bottom of your burning questions every Wednesday. We also want to hear your stories.” The announcement continues, “Tell us how the music inspires you, share a great road story, or make a suggestion.”
Episodes will air each Wednesday. The first episode is out now. Check it out wherever you get your podcasts or click here. To submit questions, stories, comments, and more, visit metallica.com/podcast.
